This is an unashamed blowing of my own trumpet (but, as Oscar Wilde said, what else is a trumpet for?):)

The September issue of Aviation History is now out, with my article as the main one and also the front cover feature.

The Mustang is shown on the cover because only with the Merlin did it become arguably the best fighter in WWII.

The article covers 6 pages after the title page shown here.

Those of you who requested copies but haven't given me their mailing addresses, please do now.

Woo hoo!:D

No, you have to buy a copy! How else would we writers get the big bucks?

Writers get big bucks? Damn...I've been writing in forums for thirteen years and havn't seen a cent. :p

I will make it a point to locate a copy. I am a confirmed Mustang-a-holic. My living room's theme is P-51 Mustangs, art, models, even the ceiling fan.

Oh the sound of that Merlin.......

I very much look forward to your article.

I received my copy of "Aviation History" this morning and have just read Nick's excellent feature on the Merlin engine. Thanks Nick, and congratulations on a very well-researched Article. Tony.
